Jamestown, officially known as the Kingdom of Jamestown, is an American micronation comprised of four territories located within the United States. Three of them are located in Georgia and the other one is located in Virginia. The four territories are united under the leadership of King James Patrick Quinn, who declared its independence from the United States on 4 October 2022. It was fully recognized as a micronation by the Principality of Sancratosia on 18 October 2022.

King James created the Kingdom of Jamestown with the aim to offer an escape for dissatisfied Americans who hate the way their nation is currently operating politically speaking. Its political system combines the systems of the United States and the United Kingdom mixed with a little bit of Classical Greek direct democracy influences. The Kingdom offers citizenship to everyone, no matter what their background is.

Etymology

Jamestown is a simple combination of the King's name followed by the word 'town'.

History

As a young child growing up in the suburbs of Atlanta, little James would go to American History Class and would learn about the first successful English Settlement in America called Jamestown. "That town has my name on it so it must be mine" he thought to himself as he was taking notes in class. Years later he discovers an online community of Political Role-players with lavish costumes. They are known as Micronationalist and they are almost as big of a deal as a Macronation. James thought that he needs to try this thing out and see where it goes. So he designs a flag online, buys a King Costume from Party City, and gets to work designing his own country. He enjoys the process a lot because it combines his artistic talent with his political knowledge. It seemed like a no brainer to dip his toe into this.

After publishing his website, he officially declared his independence from the United States. He also made a video on YouTube celebrating this occasion by giving the American Declaration of Independence and its Constitution the "Royal SYKE."

He posts online on facebook about his new micronation and soon other nations discovered him. The first to recognize his nation was the Principality of Sancratosia on 18 October 2022. He later bought tickets to Microcon 2023 to meets other Micronationalist and form even more diplomatic relations.

The King made his first public appearance at Microcon and gave a brief speech about what his nation is all about. He attended lectures, signed the CHICAGO Agreement presented by the United Slabovian Empire, and ate dinner at the Micronationalist GALA near Chicago, Illinois. He had a great time meeting the heads of states.

Right now, the King is busy designing and reworking the mechanics of his nation. He posts monthly on his website and is active on Micronationalism Facebook groups.
